Multiple Domains SEO SSL Redirect Avoiding Loop Errors

Question

I have 4 domains in my server:

domain1.com domain2.net domain3.com domain4.net

The primary and SSL enabled is: domain1.com

I try a SEO permanent 301 redirection of all of them to https://www.domain1.com and works fine, the problem is that when someone tries to access any secondary domain prefixing it with https the redirection doest work.

Example: domain2.net (or any other of those with https prefix) will not redirect to https://www.domain1.com and get a SSL certificate error.

I believe this is because SSL request uses a different port: 443 and all the Rewrite Rules i made are just for 80 port.

Please help!

Answer 1

You get the SSL certificate error because the certificate does not match the name of the accessed server. Any redirects will only be done after establishing the SSL connection, which means you need to have a valid certificate for each domain you want to redirect from.
